Risperidone caused poverty of thought and I cant think of anything to say so I dont talk much. I’m bipolar with voices and I have never before had this problem, not in 20 years since diagnosis.

Risperidone is similar to Invega and I have the same problem. It’s better when I’m typing on the internet and have a lot more to say but I can’t seem to think of what to say irl.

My doctor also didn’t believe my negative symptoms were caused by antipsychotics. Result: I changed pdoc. Memantine may benefit you, but adjusting your antipsychotics can also help a lot. Aripiprazole helped me a lot with negative symptoms.
And, man, I had a lot of alogia. I mean I would say just two words when talking to people. Most of the time, people would talk and talk and I would just say “yes.” Now I can finally talk to people and get into rich conversations.
Don’t let your doctor dictates your whole treatment. You have a role on it too, but do it with precaution.

I don’t talk much. Don’t have anything to say, and certainly nothing the average person wants to hear. Imprisoned with my own thoughts…it’s lonely.

Greeneggs,
I’m here…to listen… let it out!
i’m the same way on risperidone. not much to say. but i have always been that way. i like it keeps me out of trouble. but when i think i should i can talk a little. maybe you just feel so awesome that your not thinking. close that awesome door. do you feel content but then just always looking to talk? i don’t want to because i sound as awesome as i feel. not in a good way.
